Yep. I don't much like DeSantis, but I still think my piece flagging him as the candidate most likely to beat Trump, if Trump runs, is correct. — PolitiTweet.org

One insight just beyond the edge of this article: people ultimately want to be treated equally, as dignified individuals, whereas woke deference norms *do not treat people as equals*, but as "others" https://t.co/c9NaG051xx — PolitiTweet.org

One more thing on this well written essay: I'd have expected a twenty-something NY Mag staffer who has perfected eyeliner and knowing references to stuff I'm unfamiliar w/ to listen to much cooler music than me, but nope, we both like Stevie Nicks and David Bowie. — PolitiTweet.org

One point people who aren't horrified by the NY Mag story seem to miss is that the mode used by cancellers at that school necessitates cruelty toward people who *aren't even accused of any wrongdoing* for the transgression of *refusing to be cruel* to people who are accused. — PolitiTweet.org

@rinanpakkala Yeah the two kids IMHO are negligible parts of what went wrong and I felt so awful for both of them. Really every kid in the story except the Javert character who was shaming people for befriending the cancelled. — PolitiTweet.org

@rinanpakkala So much in that story worthy of more attention that I can't fault any particular decision about focus but very much agree that the culture of shaming women (or anyone for that matter) because there is a naked photo of them is awful. — PolitiTweet.org

How can you satirize left-authoritarian impulses in the academy when there's a professor earnestly invoking the execution of Socrates as an event we should all agree to emulate through cancel culture (albeit without literal executions)? https://t.co/tWEeEG14k4 — PolitiTweet.org

One could read that story and reach many different conclusions about what is wrong, but I'm baffled that anyone could read it and think, *nothing to see here*. I feel awful for almost every single person mentioned. — PolitiTweet.org

Cancel culture complaints have been litigated endlessly in public, not back channels. And unlike some relatively speculative complaints, the NY Mag story features kids on the verge of suicide, admins retiring from stress, lawsuits and Title IX complains. Is that un-newsworthy? — PolitiTweet.org
